Overview

The ABB TC716A Compression Connector is a UL-listed and CSA-certified insulated compression fitting designed for 2-inch Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) conduit systems. Constructed from durable zinc-plated steel with a nylon insulator throat, this connector delivers a concrete-tight seal to prevent moisture, dust, and contaminants from entering conduit runs—critical for installations embedded in concrete or exposed to harsh environments. The compression design eliminates the need for threading, reducing installation time while ensuring a secure mechanical and electrical connection. The insulated throat reduces wire-pulling effort by up to 50%, enhancing efficiency during cable pulls. Certified to UL 514B and CSA C22.2 No. 18, the TC716A meets NFPA 70 and NEMA FB1 standards, making it suitable for commercial, industrial, and hazardous location applications (Class I, Div. 2; Class II, Div. 1 & 2; Class III, Div. 1 & 2 per NEC). Its hardened steel screws provide positive holding strength and grounding continuity, while the electro-zinc plated finish with chromate coating offers superior corrosion resistance. Ideal for use in manufacturing plants, construction sites, and utility installations where reliability and compliance are required.
